Increase the baby and toddler friendliness of neighbourhood parks
I would love to see more baby friendly swings (full bucket swings), and safer park play equipment for little toddlers loving to explore - like the kind of equipment at Coyle Park (trains, ground level puzzles and music activities, ground level slides etc).

Remove more Overhead powerlines in favour of underground services to give greater street appeal, community pride and less power outages

Turn Te Atatu Peninsula into a model neighbourhood for walking and cycling
It's simple: 30km/hr speed limit on all but arterials, and build continuous cycle lanes on all arterials (aka the Bike Te Atatu plan - cf biketeatatu.org.nz/our-proposal/). This submission was initially sent to the local board 5 years ago, it's time to act now.

Build a playground at Lowtherhurst Reserve
I live along Lowtherhurst Road and the reserve is beautiful but such a waste that not many people know about it or make full use of it. It's a huge space there that kids and dogs can run around and have lots of fun outdoors. Will be great if there's a playground there even if it's just a small one. It's just so beautiful there and I would love to bring my toddler there. Thanks!

Volunteering in a new "normal" needs support
COVID-19 has changed the volunteering landscape. The likely scenario for NGOs reliant on volunteers will be a short fall of people unable to volunteer as in pre-COVID days. With seniors [over 65yrs] being the back bone of many of our volunteer activities in the community now unable [unwilling through health fears?] to undertake their usual roles, this will leave a big gap in the ability of NGOs to deliver services at pre-COVID levels. An increasing number of people will also be subsisting on a much reduced income will be accessing community services in larger numbers and the community groups stepping up to support them will need additional people to support the delivery of those needs – these are generally volunteers. The increasing numbers of unemployed people will also be looking to contribute, retrain and wanting to ensure their own good mental health will need support in sourcing community voluntary activities that will best meet their needs. We need to support our community organisations to relook at their volunteer involving programmes and practices, how they recruit, support, identify and allocate voluntary tasks, ensuring the health and wellbeing of both the recipients and the volunteers. Volunteering Auckland is well placed to support the volunteering needs of both the person looking to contribute and those community groups needing support in their volunteer engagement processes and practices. Our database can also track referrals to needs by suburb and by local board. We are able to operate regionally and virtually. Volunteering will increasingly become a way to ensure a resilient community.
